With the way the world is today, it’s vitally important that you learn how to free yourself from needless worry. Despite misguided opinion to the contrary, worry generally get’s you nowhere.  In fact, worry reduces our ability to function well.

Worry is imagining future unpleasant or unwanted outcomes as if they already happened.  When we do that, we ruin a perfectly good present moment by dwelling on an imaginary possible future.  If someone does it a lot, worry and the chronic stress it creates will destroy their physical health in addition to their emotional well being

The good news is, how much we allow ourselves to wallow in anxious thinking is up to us – again, despite what many people say to the contrary.

Many people think whether or not they worry depends on outside events.  They think that worry is their only possible way to react to a situation.  If someone does this, they’ve given up control.

Many people think that worry is necessary and useful.

The more we look, the clearer it becomes that there are many such fallicies in circulation.

So to begin freeing yourself from excessive anxiety, you may want to look at your assumptions concerning the purpose of worry.  Why are you doing it?  Do you think it somehow serves you?  There has to be some percieved benefit for you to worry.  If you don’t identify it, it will be harder to let worry go.

As I mentioned, some people think that spending time worrying is unavoidable and useful. Such people believe if they worry they’re being mature.  They consider optomists “Pollyannas” and somehow not as responsible as they are.

None of that is correct.

Worrying is actually a poor use of time.  Instead of helping you find a solution, it keeps you focused on the problem, not it’s solution.  The useful approach is to focus on the problem only long enough to clearly define it, then immediately shift to working on the solution.

Another excuse people have to engage in worry is that they feel it somehow protects them from bad things happening.

Let’s face it, that belief sounds a lot like superstition.  All worry does is keep you from living fully in the present. When someone worries, their mind is filled with bad possble outcomes that most likely will never happen.

As you consider your beliefs about worry youll likely come to the conclusion that it’s hurting rather than helping you.  It’s my belief that society would be happier if we could get worry under control.
